NLP - Richard Bandler - What is NLP? Neuro linguistic programming.

[timelapsetimes4]

could anyone hear the embedded commands... they where well done Richard Bandler.

[ChikinMcNuggets]

@pogromcAbsurdow yes

[pogromcAbsurdow]

@ChikinMcNuggets but looks like NLP does not work for him...oh I forgot..NLP states: "there's no failure, only feedback (learning experience)"

it works if you want to make money on teaching how to improve your life...even if it does not work in Bandler's life and there's no official science proof

good luck

[PatJD91]

does nlp work towards depression?

[betlamed]

@PatJD91 Well... from my own experiecne: self-hypnosis can help. Meditation, tantra, yoga, and all other forms of mindfulness practice are ENORMOUSLY helpful. NLP is fun, and a huge promise, but it doesn't deliver. It's a funny game for children, not much more.

[Sams3211]

NLP Is very Unique Study of Mind Sciences and it is the Knowledge, which can be use for good purpose and also for bad purpose so far. It's Up to YOU that do you want it to use for good purpose. I know two Trainers in Pakistan, Faiez Hasan Seyal and Dr. Muhammad Arif Siddiqui. They bring positive change in both Business field as well as personal development. That's why, I say it's good for those who want positive change in the lives of others.

[mobileaarmy]

yum, snake oil....great to cook with

[PokerVT1]

has anyone here actually got rid of a phobia using NLP?

[lifeisamazingcouk]

@PokerVT1 Yes, you bet. I can point you at so many people who've overcome phobias that it seems to be a joke that these techniques aren't used by the big health services of the world. It's extraordinarily effective against phobias.

[B00MK]

@lifeisamazingcouk also against our children, at schools, to push and further this corrupt system.

WAKE UP PLEASE!

[lifeisamazingcouk]

@B00MK What a strange statement, and an odd twist of the word "against". That's like saying helping people to have greater freedom is a bad thing.

[Ormstono1]

NLP really is overhyped, it wouldn't be so bad and even useful if they would accept some objectivity and get real with their sensational claims. It isn't a science because people like Bandler don't want it to be (he wouldn't get the respect or the wealth if he did). I studied NLP for years and believed everything that was said but have recently started to see through it. Mainstream science isn't as sensational, it won't cure everyone in ten minutes, it welcomes critique and is respected by more

[bobolith]

@Ormstono1 If you think you saw through it, perhaps you never really saw it.

[ArtByLetters]

good

[CrusaderDom3]

This guy is just brillient psychotherapist. No wonder the master himself Dr.Milton Hyland Erickson give him the thrumbs up with NLP.

Its just a shame that he kills hookers, and not to mention the lawsuit he brought up against his former partner John Grinder was just atrocious.

[pr4nk5tr]

NLP is probably a good collection of powerful methods and techniques that mostly stem from others, like Milton Erickson.

Apart from that, the comments here show that many people are very suggestible..

[HypnoTop]

Great guy! I just love the way he explains stuff. Noone really comes close to Bandler in my opinion.

[Briancmwilliams]

@darthnegate NLP should never be used on neuroatypicals.

If your a regular person and you want to subject yourself to NLP to get over your fear of heights go right ahead it may help it probably wouldn't hurt.

But, as someone who has seen it used and been inside an asylum, anything done with confidence to "cure" a nueroatypical is going to be a train wreck. The fact that this guy believes he can fix people easily is disturbing.

[Lloyidian]

@Briancmwilliams he has never claimed to cure these people!!! phobias or anxieties are not the same!

[Briancmwilliams]

@Lloyidian phobias are just intense anxieties so i dont see your point.

[Lloyidian]

@Briancmwilliams my point is that people with phobias (anxieties) are a different class than those classified as neurodivergent! He doesn't cure what can't be cured. You obviously can't use nlp on someone with autism, yet very well on a person fearful from heights.

[Briancmwilliams]

@Lloyidian Congratulations that may be the most bigoted thing I've heard in 2011 come up and collect your trophy.

[Lloyidian]

@Briancmwilliams thank you! I would like to thank my mom, my dad for supporting me..I would like to thank God..especially I would like to thank John Gridner and Richard Bandler for discovering the method of NLP, a method where people with phobias can be cured! and I would also like to thank you as I re-realized that getting involved in youtube comments is just nothing but a pointless waste of time!

[Briancmwilliams]

@Lloyidian I would have complemented your liberal use of snark, but then you finished it off with sucking off a man you never met and then a plea for being the only sane man on the internet.

Trust me your not and your not different ... not even in a bad way.

[polyopulis]

@Briancmwilliams Can you define "neuroatypical" please?

[Jebus2Jebus]

I have a few reservations about this guy..(if it sounds to good to be true, then it isn't). First, In the DVDs i saw of him he constantly mentioned money. he also claims to have helped all these wealthy sports people earning him millions of dollars, yet he still charges a fortune for his seminars and products.... Maybe he is that good if he's conning all of you guys....

[WeirdoSchizo]

PS... Richard you are a great hypnotist. Why don't you just say that NLP is only effective if under trance state for subconscious and conscious receptivity for permanent results. Just my personal opinion - you are a good bloke but.

[francoard]

Richard number One!!!!

[powerfulsexyprincess]

I love Richard, he is a complete genius!

[mindprogrammer]

Love ya Richard ! 

[Lsdfunk]

@Unzaman I thought it was a waistcoat...

xD

[YD8189]

@BensTopics

I'd love to bet against that. This is what makes these guys so lacking in credibility.

Check this out: if Tony Robbins can dupe 1,000,000 people into buying one of his books and 99% of readers think it was nonsense and one out of a hundred thought it was brilliant, he could then write a 500-page book of testimonials.

Speaking of Robbins, what's Kevin Trudeau up to?

[ARyttz]

@YD8189

Please do bet against it; we always appreciate extra payment for our work.

It's true, though, that NLP-ers tend to lack credibility; we tend to view backing up the obvious as unnecessary, and that's admittedly very contrary to Western culture. A Canadian university recently did a study and "discovered" that elderly people tend to consume more medications than their younger counterparts.

But please, remember to hear from both sides of the argument before you decide who's right or wrong.

[YD8189]

@ARyttz

EVERY phobia; EVERY time?

Milton Erickson never suggested he could do that himself. As a matter of fact, HE admitted the obvious: NO intervention has been known to be efficacious with every patient. And Richard Bandler and/or Tony Robbins are not, nor ever will be, in the same league as Dr. Erickson. He was as much a "freak" in his craft as was Mozart or Picasso.

I KNOW both sides of this argument and such claims don't pass the laugh test--no matter what you get paid. 

[ARyttz]

@YD8189

You're assuming a random YouTube comment is a completely accurate quote? It isn't.

I thought you were referring to the possibility of a ten-minute cure. You're right; of course it isn't possible to cure *everything* that quickly.

[mssharpie]

part of nlp is hypnosis.i read an article in prevention (or was it readers' digest?) magazine a couple years ago that said that the human brain looks different when in an hypnotic trance.researchers have examined hypnotized peoples' brains using mri when they're in a trance and have publicly stated that the human brain looks different when it's in a trance.so THERE'S ACTUALLY A PHYSICAL EFFECT WITH HYPNOSIS.

[donovanritter]

I have been studying NLP for 10 years now, I can not get rid of this (phobia) or what ever it is. I was #3 in the world at X-games BMX vert, I got this thing that ruined my career. Its not really a phobia, its more like a lose wire on a control switch. Imagine if there was an electrical short in the derailer on train tracks, you think you're going north and all of a sudden you go south. There is no fear it just happens all of a sudden, dont understand it.

[11younggun11]

@donovanritter - if there's no fear there's no phobia so the typical phobia cure wont work.

Try some mindful meditation, figure out what's actually going on then find someone who's overcome it or the formula thats already out there to overcome it

[haris000000]

@donovanritter dont really get what you mean by that but if there is no medical condition for what u have why not just visit a good nlp or hypnosis guy try it

[MontanaDreamaker]

Your mind is hard wired like a computer and can be reprogrammed! Thank God or I'd be dead!

[StreetEnglishTV]

great comment!

[speedjounetsu]

why the hell does everybody leave out the area of NLP which is used to manipulate people ??? the name NLP sounds even more suitable when studying that area .

[evanarke]

@speedjounetsu Were all manipulating each other and things all the time. Although some of us have different intentions.

[GiLGiJ]

Maybe NLP is the product of and resource for deep personal observation, but maybe it's the humanist's "spirituality", too. Anyone have any thoughts about that?

[GiLGiJ]

Is NLP rooted in the ancient mystery religions? Is it something kinda like what some ancient magic was all about?

[robmatlivingstone]

It is based in cybernetics, linguistics and information systems. The ancient mysteries teach Luciferianism.

[whitenightf3]

What Jacket? He is wearing a waistcoat LOL

[transfixedtornado]

RB seems to be mostly concerned with the erotics of power

[Chieldeberzerker]

lol, so off

[satishimf]

Over all NLP is all about how both verbal and nonverbal communications affect our nervous system...

[biglmac]

No it's not.

They don't look into the nervous system at all.

[satishimf]

NLP-NEURO- Nervous system through which the experience is received and processed through the five senses. LINGUISTIC- Language and nonverbal communication systems through which neural representations are coded,ordered and given meaning. PROGRAMMING-The ability to organize our communication and neurological systems to achieve specific desired goals and results.

[biglmac]

@satishimf Just because a name's etymology may imply a meaning (even though Neuro is not synonymous with 'nervous system" anyway) doesn't mean that it means that. Just take Intelligent Design for example. There's nothing intelligent about it. So what? NLP is an unproven technique. It will probably be as legit as phrenology in 50 years.

[satishimf]

@biglmac Cognitive science has accepted NLP...NLP is a subjective experience...If it works for you take it...Else drop it and take some other thing which is useful...As an individual NLP has been useful to me...

[satishimf]

No...This is not scientology...This is all about modelling excellence...For example, if a person gets up early in the morning by 5 am daily on a consistent basis, using NLP you can find out how that person did that on a consistent basis...That is, what are his thought processes, how did he use his physiology, what are his beliefs etc...Once you find that you can take that and do it for yourself..

You will also produce the same kind of result similar to the person who did that earlier..

[mercurio0000]

Cool! I like how you described with your example what NLP does. I mean by the example of if a person gets up early in the morning.

Cool Stuff.

I believe that wealthy people have certain patterns that the rest of the population don't have but if some one poor wanted to be wealthy all he/she had to do was study the patterns, thought process and habits of the wealthy individual. I don't know for sure but my minds suggest that it could happen.

Thanks for your comment.

[satishimf]

Thank you...I hope that i made some difference in your life...God bless you...

[mercurio0000]

It did. I learned something new or a new way to see it. So thank you for posting your comment.

;-)

[maxxsee]

hehyehehe

that was funny!

I think the man is a genious, have some of his books and have seen all his videos!

[tjmercer]

he said fuddling.

[butterz2butterz2]

1:37 he says fuding people who got over phobias lol

[ComedyTragedy101]

hum...

[bandleriano]

Can NLP help against mobbing bossing ??? thanks very much hi very hi

[RichardD42]

What is "mobbing bossing"? (Now everybody will break out the meta-model ;). I suspect something like "circle of power" could help, or get you fired... :-)

[JustBeWell]

Sometimes it can be done in ten minutes, often it takes longer. The mechanics of the fast phobia cure do not take long but often the 'set-up' takes a while. These techniques work, I have been successful with clients literally thousands of times over the past 12 years.

[xirishmagicx]

Often it takes longer? What makes it take longer? And what do you mean "set up"? Little confused lol

[JustBeWell]

Setting up conditioned responses, anchors, can take a while (well it can take me a while, anyway). Also, if my client turns up crying, and white with terror, it can take a little while to settle them down. Also, running a series of hypnotic metaphors with a bunch of embedded commands before you actually do 'the technique' can make it easier. Having said that, sometimes you can get people to stop being phobic within a couple of minutes, though for me that is the exception rather than the rule.

[xirishmagicx]

That comment was the most clear, concise, and fair that I have ever seen on youtube. That rocks!!

[szt1964]

These guys made a huge contribution to understanding psychological functioning.

Yet, and that is bad, they promise to cope with phobias in 10 minutes. Thats nicely said overconfident.

[CrowdPleeza]

Can someone diret me to some nueroscientist who advocate NLP?

[johnny1250000]

Neuroscientists will only be interested in subjectivity as epiphenomena for the most part, so yul likely be out of luck there. However, think of the sexiest person doing the sexiest thing you can imagine to you. Your thinking will have an impact on your physiology. Epiphenomenalism will say the cause of this is purely physical i.e. your thinking is subordinate to your brain chemistry, not vice versa. A materialist scientist seems to have little choice but to view subjectivity as epiphenomena

[mmafan35]

Then perhaps someone can direct me to some psychological research that has substantiated NLP empirically.

[johnny1250000]

I think the following presupposition of NLP precludes it from 'empirical psychological research': if what you are doing is not working, do something else. However, supposing you have an imagination and some level of awareness of your physiology, you can have a go at playing around with the effects of altering submodality distinctions and see what if anything works for you. NLP is a 'science of subjectivity' - something you want to change?, substantiate it for yourself - otherwise, no big deal

[mmafan35]

That is nonsense. Prayer also effectively "works" for a large percentage of the population, as does voodoo. And supposing it does not work, how do we know that we are just no "utilizing our imagination for effective submodality distinctions", or some other mumbo jumbo. "Not working" can be explained away by any belief system. If your healing crystals are not "working" then probably your "negativity is blocking the flow of energy". Scientific empiricism avoids such pithless explanations.

[mmafan35]

P.S. Psychology also deals with subjective concepts. CBT, for instance, deals with mental states, which are certainly subjective, but the theories can still be validated empirically.

[johnny1250000]

Use what effectively works to effect change. That seems sensible, yes. Practical reason: if you will some end, take the most effective means to that end. Seems to me you are looking at this from a different angle. NLP is not attempting to explain anything or tell you the truth. It's about exploring the freedom to do whatever you want in life - that's got very little to do with truth. except insofar as you tell it. Want change? Study NLP. Want to test psy theories, go to Uni, get a degree.

[Bigturns33]

ya i think this is where thinking goes wrong, your right that we all create our own subjective states but i think Objective mind states can be created when we rationally construct our thoughts and feelings based on evidence which is what leads then to facts. I think we can apply this in all areas of thinking .

[bretttheguy]

And then maybe someone can direct me to some research that substantiates the use of empirical methodology in psychology.

[mmafan35]

What needs to be substantiated? An empirical methodology, simply put, is assessing whether something works reliably and for the reasons it claims.

[bretttheguy]

The point is, the use of empirical methodology (especially in the behavioral sciences) is fraught with problems. "Assessing whether something works"? According to what criteria? As you mentioned earlier, many will verify that prayer works reliably, but it doesn't sound like you accept that. What makes scientific empiricism so special?

[mmafan35]

The point is, nothing makes empiricism special, but the challenge to you is...what is the preferred alternative? Empiricism is special simply because it is the best we've got. It is better than falling victim the the various biases and fallacies that can influence unsophisticated reasoning.

This is not to say that empiricism cannot err or that there are not truths that are true despite the fact that science cannot verify them.

But it has done pretty darn good I'd say.

[Tobobooks]

I have approached several university faculties to set up a test to demonstrate the effectiveness of NLP for phobic response. I use NLP regularly on clients and have dealt with phobias often. The fastest cure was 4 minutes. The longest took 8 hours.

Every faculty I approach dismisses this out of hand. I've come to the conclusion that the funding structure actually works against proving it. Can it really be that they prefer to get funding to study phobics, rather than see them "cured" quickly?

[RichardMacilwaine]

Awesome! Thanks for the vid :)

[HarleyStcool]

right on brutha
